Thanks for your nice comments, guys!
Some final pictures of the completed model:
Ships railings are not uniform: There are 2 and 3 rows of fixed tube railing, some of which are possible to fold down in order to provide firing at low angels for the main guns. Some has netting attached in order to prevent empty shell cases from going overboard.
There are also, mainly at the rear main deck, wire railings in combination with fixed tubed railing. All of this can very well be ignored on a 1:350 ship, but in 1:100 the model is so big that is both possible and, I think, correct to try to show all of the above as accurate as possible.
Depth charges are dropped from the two racks at the stern or/and from the two launchers at each side. Reserve charges are stored in cradles/ racks next to the launchers.
Finally, the structure holding the ships propellers away from quays etc: These parts were really crude and inaccurate so - labour intensive and had to be modified. As shown in the original picture, each structure had a “floor” with an access hatch making it able for the crew to get to the propellers, so “floor” and hatches also had to be made.
